Juno  5 ,  1950 


Mrs.  W.  H.  Elder,,  formerly  Mies  Grotchcn  Harper,  graduate  of  Bro okneal 
High  School,  was  taken  to  the  Virginia  Baptist  Hospital  I  st  Thursday 
night  suffering  from  an  attack  of  appendicitis. 

Dr.  Bradford  Yates,  a  former  classmate  of  Mrs.  Elder,  who  has  a. 
large  practice  in  New  York,  flew  down  in  his  private  plane  to  perform 
the  operation.  His  assistant  was  Miss  Justine  Holt,  e.lso  a  member  of  the 


class  of  1940.  The-  operation  was  very  successful. 

Friday  afternoon  Mrs.  Elder  was  visited  by  Miss  Rachel  Pillow,  who 
is  caring,  for  Willie  Jr.,  and  little  Gretchen  during  her  neighbors’  ill¬ 
ness.  Miss  Pillow,  as  you  may  know,  is  an  old  maid,  but  still  hopeful. 

Mrs.  L.  H.  Foster  was  visited  last  week-end  by  her  son  L.  H.  J'r., 
who  is  still  strug0ling  through  an  engineering  course  at  Virginia  Tech.

ment  ov0r  May  s '  Groceiy  Store  which  has  been  her  life-long  ambition. 

Je  wish  to  state  here  that  the  other  day  Miss  Frances  Foster,  who 
is  still  teaching  school  at  Ock  Heights,  received  a.  letter  from  miss
